  "textContent": "Space is a vacuum. Heat therefore cannot be transferred to the surroundings by thermal conduction. This poses a problem for any type of space-capable electronics, which can quickly overheat under these conditions. The only way to dissipate heat in space is through radiation into space. A radiator converts the heat into thermal radiation. The material used must emit as much thermal radiation as possible for the process to work efficiently.",
